No Super Bowl Experience

It was one year ago that we were reminded of the lack of Superb Owl experience on a very young team.
No Hawks had any experience playing in the NFL championship.

A graphic during the couple minutes I watched of to Poor Bowl today talked of 33 Seahawks with Superb Owl experience.

According to this story, maybe even 35.

My hope is that the Hawks don't get uptight and get concerned with playing to not lose. However, they watched a team across from them do that last week and most likely learned from the mistakes of others.

How many of the Pats players have Superb Owl experience? It's been a few years since they've been to the big dance and they've had quite a bit of roster turnover.

Most of the team and the entire coaching staff have Super Bowl winning experience from just last year.

For the Patriots, only Tom Brady and Vince Wilfork have that experience.

Advantage: Seahawks

It's actually harder to name the few Seahawks who don't have Super Bowl winning experience than to name those who do. Every offensive starter does, except for rookie RT Justin Britt and FB Will Tukuafu, who has Super Bowl losing experience with the Niners. And every defensive starter won a Super Bowl last year, except for veteran DT Kevin Williams.

Tom Brady
Vince Wilfork
Brandon Browner (almost forgot he got a ring last year despite being suspended and placed on IR during the Super Bowl)


It's actually harder to name the few Seahawks who don't have Super Bowl winning experience than to name those who do. I count 39 Seahawks on the 53-man roster with Super Bowl rings, although some of those players earned their rings on the practice squad or IR list. Every offensive starter has one, except for rookie RT Justin Britt and FB Will Tukuafu, who has Super Bowl losing experience with the Niners. And every defensive starter won a Super Bowl last year, except for veteran DT Kevin Williams. Backup NT Demarcus Dobbs also played for the Niners the year they lost the Super Bowl.

Brock Coyle (R)
*This list gets twice as long when you include all the guys on the reserve lists and practice squad who will get rings after we Re-Pete.

RING? they were talking about experience of being there.

Well, as mentioned above, 35 Seahawks were on the active roster when we went to the Super Bowl last year and four more were on the practice squad or IR lists. All together, 39 players on the current active roster have Super Bowl rings compared to just three for the Patriots. Ironically, one of those three players (Browner) got his ring here while on the IR list. If we're talking about being there and winning, then it's still 35>2.
